Go, go, go

It seems like that is all we have done this week! Bodie and I have been working in the evenings down at the nursery for Dad and then I've had several meetings for the church, dinner out with the family one night, and it just seems like we haven't hardly taken a breather! But yesterday I did get a chance to clean the house before family came for dinner last night. And I must say I'm rather impresseed with myself! There is one problem spot in the kitchen and then the clothing volcano in the guest room, but other than that the house is pretty clean!!!

Bodie had to work this morning for a little extra overtime, but should be home around lunch time.

We are asking for some prayers about directions we should take...we've gone on our budget and are working it. But we are looking at getting Bodie on at my job if possible. Pro's : money - he'd make more than double what he is now, hours - 7-3:30, overtime if he wants to, Con's - he is told that he will get promoted next June at EKU (however, they've told him lots of things since he's started and very few of them actually worked out the way we were told) and he enjoys his job for the most part, Lexington - he would more than likely be in Lexington and there are no guarantees that I wouldn't be moved there too, so it would take 1 of us around 30-45 minutes to get back to Richmond if Rose was sick. Why are we thinking about this you ask? Mainly because we would like to have another child and that comes with atleast another $800/mth. that we don't see that we could afford anytime soon, not to mention the ability to pay of debt. We are going to be praying about it and ask for prayers, because if it is meant to happen then it will, if it's not, then God has a better plan ahead for us.

Week recap

This was the first full week of work at my new job...I really enjoy the people that I work with.  The ladies are like one big family - it's wonderful!  So far, most everyone I have met is super nice and I am enjoying what I'm doing.We've been busy around the house this week, doing what - I'm not really sure but we seem to have been going, going, going.We are having a yard sale next week - wish us luck!Here are some snap shots of our week....

Busy already this morning

So since I start a new job on Monday and have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn...I've been practicing this week getting up, getting everyone going, and trying to be on time. I think we are going to be able to accomplishi it with Bodie's help and getting up just a little earlier - Eeek!

It has been kind of nice to get up and get going before the rest of the world and feel like I've already done so much - versus sleeping my day away. However I think I will look forward to sleeping in on Sat.!

I've been meaning to take my grocery bags that I have with me on my, what seems like 600, grocery trips this week and have continued to forget them. However this morning I remembered to pull them out of the corner of the garage...ready to go! Then realized at Wal-mart that I forgot them again....grrrhh! But I'm going to run back to Kroger at lunch b/c they were marking down their meat this morning and we are going grill out tomorrow night for Bodie's parents...so if I could get it a little cheaper I would be so excited!

I am going to definately do a better job of menu planning for this coming week b/c I feel like I've spent so much money this week. Here comes the Envelope System! Any favorite receipes would be greatly appreciated - especially for garden green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, potatoes, and tomatoes. I think I'm going to try and steal, I mean borrow!, Mom's dehydrator and try to dehydrate some potatoes....We like the Au Gratin potatoes and my little freezing and drying book says that they do ok...I'll let you know.
